I think I've already said how much I like these, but oh! I really do enjoy them. I love the idea of Gwen being the invisible thread mending Camelot and its people. And then the poem is such a shift in tone. It's very cool, and the new second stanza is great!

Well done!

Oh, thank you so much! Your advice was invaluable and I'm glad you like the new stanza!

Wow. Both of these are really good, and really different. I like the extended metaphor of sewing (and weaving) in the first one. It really highlights where Gwen is now and foreshadows her future. The poem is also fabulous. Especially the last two lines- they're just very affecting and powerful. I can tell you put a lot of work into these :D

Thank you for the lovely feedback! It's great to hear that they worked. :-)

Wow, both of these were wonderful. I especially like Gwen's ambivalence about power in the first one, how she was drawn to it yet wary.

Thank you!

That's a gorgeous character study of Gwen, and how she binds them together and tries to fix them all...
